Based in the South of England, Tim delivers engaging bushcraft, outdoor education and wilderness wellbeing experiences for children, young people and adults.

Ever wondered what’s actually been found at All Things Fungi Festival?

We’re keeping the receipts. 🤓

You can now explore every single iNaturalist record from every festival directly on our website. A living record of the incredible diversity we’ve discovered together.

And this year, we want to do even better! 🔎

The 2026 project you won’t have to join for your records to count and we’re extending the boundaries a little to catch observations we missed in previous years. More observations. More species. More surprises. More knowledge shared.

A huge thank you to Laura and Mike (Symcyto) for making this possible, for coding the whole thing and making our website epic!

Seb is brother to Christian of Urban Forage. He is their lead forager and resident fungal fanatic.

A former head chef and purveyor of the Brighton Sunday roast, Seb was most interested in making the best Yorkshire puddings until he teamed up with his brother to run a busy pub franchise in Central Brighton. The Menu focused on foraged ingredients, and it quickly turned his foraging hobby into a way of life.

After a lucky find In a local woodland, truffles became a new obsession and he learnt all he could, from French texts to any books he could get hold of.

He has a unique skill for finding truffles without the use of dogs, although he has his own little helper who is crucial for him finding the most ripe ones! Join him on a truffle special foray where hell be sharing his knowledge on truffles, how to locate the right areas and right trees, followed by a demonstration of how to find the truffles lurking underground.

Seb is mostly drawn to the sustainability of foraging, as well as the positive benefit to physical and mental health, and he passionately delivers this with his workshops at Urban Forage, He also runs a community plot growing organic veg for food banks across Brighton.

Mains is the owner and driving force behind Motive Audio, a Brighton-based Drum & Bass label and events brand that has become a well-loved part of the South Coast D&B scene.

For years, Motive has been championing both established and emerging artists, building a reputation for its high-energy events and signature sound of rolling, techy Drum & Bass. From intimate local nights to heavyweight line-ups, Motive Audio has helped keep the Brighton scene moving while building a loyal following along the South Coast and beyond.

Motive Audio has also built an impressive catalogue of releases, gaining support from some of the biggest names in Drum & Bass.

The Motive Dispensary, formerly Brighton’s CBD Ethics, is the next chapter for the much-loved Brighton shop and community space.

On Friday night, Motive Audio will be bringing that energy to the Fungi Festival for a special Drum & Bass takeover amongst the trees.

Expect deep rollers and plenty of bass.

Yoga with Ashley 🧘‍♂️ All Things Fungi Festival Join me for gentle, grounding yoga sessions woven into the rhythm of the All Things Fungi Festival 🍄‍🟫🌲 where nature’s wisdom, curiosity and wonder are the heart of the weekend.

I’m Ashley, an Eastbourne-based yoga teacher at Lotus Lessons, and I’ve been guiding mindful movement, breathwork and meditation to people of all abilities for many years. My classes are supportive accessible and rooted in mindful awareness - helping you move with ease, reconnect to your body and find calm in the present moment. I bring a grounded, breath-centred style that respects where you are today, inviting movement that feels good, breath that nurtures and stillness that restores.

At All Things Fungi, we celebrate the intelligence of ecosystems the quiet magic in the undergrowth and the cycles of growth and decay that connect us to the earth. Just as fungi knit the forest floor together, yoga offers us a way to bring mind, breath and body into connection - a practice of listening, expanding gently and tuning into what is alive right now.

My sessions will be inclusive and welcoming 🌞whether this is your first time on a mat or you’ve been moving for years. Expect mindful movement, slow flow, breath awareness and space to meet your body with kindness and curiosity.

Come as you are, let the festival energy lift you, and allow your practice to grow in harmony with the natural rhythms all around us.
